00:00Almost 2,000 families have lost their homes due to the huge fire in Tondo, Manila this weekend.

00:07It is estimated that more than 2.5 million pesos were lost to the affected areas.

00:12This is Denise Osorio in Detaile.

00:17The fire started at 11.44 in the morning and spread quickly to the narrow area of Aroma Temporary Housing Site.

00:26The fire became more intense due to the strong wind that quickly hit 12 houses that were in the area of light materials

00:33and one house where the front was damaged.

00:37The Bureau of Fire Protection or BFP immediately responded

00:41and raised the alarm to Task Force Alpha at 12.24 in the afternoon

00:46and later to Task Force Bravo at 1.33 in the afternoon.

00:50More than 40 firetrucks from Manila and nearby districts helped the Philippine Air Force

00:57that deployed a helicopter with a bambi bucket to help with extinguishing the fire.

01:04Despite their efforts, the fire was declared under control.

01:09The fire caused heavy traffic congestion, especially in Road 10 and nearby areas.

01:17Based on initial findings, it is estimated that more than 1,687 families

01:22and possibly more than 2,000 families or more than 5,000 people lost their homes

01:30that are estimated to be worth more than 2.5 million pesos.

01:35According to Barangay Kagawad Marlene Tumboco,

01:38it will take at least a week for the coals in the area to be completely removed

01:45and the area will be made safe for the residents to return

01:49where the families will be equally distributed.

01:54We here in the barangay, we are the barangay officials,

01:57we help each other when there is a situation like that.

02:00We help each other, we go to them, we go to their houses, we help the firefighters.

02:05Seven residents were injured, but fortunately,

02:10no one was injured and no one was lost,

02:14although some families were separated because they were placed in different evacuation centers.

02:20Agnes Villanueva and her family

02:23have yet to think of how they will be able to recover from the heat of the fire.

02:28We don't know how we will start again with the coal that was given to us.

02:32All of it, all of it, nothing.

02:35This is the only way we will be able to recover.

02:38Evacuation centers were set up in Barangay 105 and 106

02:42and in Vicente Lim Elementary School

02:45to provide temporary housing and basic necessities to families who lost their homes.

02:51Mayor Honey Lacuna and Vice Mayor Yul Servo also visited

02:56while many local governments, including Bacoor City,

03:00provided relief supplies and clean drinking water

03:06from the Department of Social Welfare and Development,

03:09which is called upon by Barangay 105 Chairman Elenita Reyes.

03:13The affected residents were also with the administration

03:17to help them recover and rebuild their lives.

03:22Of course, we ask for help from our President

03:24because we know that place is not for us, it's not for them.

03:29That is why I am asking our President,

03:32I am asking him to help us provide housing to our residents.

03:37Meanwhile, as part of the community's cooperation,

03:40some residents came from other nearby barangays

03:44to ride motorcycles and tricycles

03:47to provide food to those who lost their homes.

03:50At the moment, the BFP is still investigating the cause of the fire.
